Having trouble finding that perfect gift for that special someone in your life? Then check out our list of presents that every Crossfitter or fitness fan will love!

Merry Fitness to all of you. Are you still struggling with the Christmas gift for your beloved training partner? Don’t know how to achieve the goals you set or looking for some appeal to get even better next year? Here are our suggestions for great gifts that we don’t know how we survived without!

REHBAND

Sore knees from opening all the gifts, or perhaps you want to improve performance?

With the patented Rehband Black Knee Sleeves, you can assist and support the natural movements of your body, protect your joints and keep them warm between sets and during WODs. Worn by top athletes such as Josh Bridges, Annie Thorisdottir and Camille LeBlanc-Bazinet, these are designed for optimal performance in the toughest of conditions.

With the classic styling and minimal design, these eye-catching pieces of kit are bound to invoke every Crossfitters inner Froning. As our partner for 2 years now it is the go-to brand for all active people looking to maintain, protect and improve their results.

These XOOM ropes bring high quality gear for the hardest professional competitions.

With the 360° rotating ball bearing and the ultra-light, strong unibody aluminium stick, these XOOM jump ropes will allow you to become more than ready for any challenge.

Go hard-core by choosing the cable made of a durable nylon-coated steel, making this rope suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. If you know a Crossfitter that has been working hard on cracking their double under technique, then trust in the experience of the XOOM team that have been involved in sport for more than 25 years and pride themselves with the philosophy of ensuring the athletes’ well being is number one priority.

With carefully chosen ingredients from perfectly ripe coconuts, Real Coconut Water is the most delicious coconut water offered by Mother Nature. The coconut water comes from Nakorn Pathom, Ban Preaw and Ampawa – Thailand´s famous region, noted for having the best and sweetest coconuts in the world. They enjoy close relationships to the best farmers and crops. One bottle of their coconut water has more potassium than a banana, and far less calories than a standard soft drink or juice.

Enjoy it pure or with pulp (coconut bits) but also give their new varieties a go: Coco Passion, Coco Matcha, Coco Aloe and Coco Coffee – for the extra push before training!

Real Coconut Water is also available as a trial package with all flavours

Every workout is a unique challenge with the most diverse requirements, so it is absolutely necessary to have a shoe that supports you in every situation. The Nike Metcon 2, worn by many professional athletes is so versatile, it lets you lift, run, jump and even climb ropes without any losses in performance.

The midsole is firmer in the heel to handle the high demands of weightlifting, and softer and much more flexible in the forefoot to provide cushioned comfort as you run. Linked with the sticky rubber this gives you maximised traction and makes you ready to tackle your next WOD. A perfect Christmas gift for all the Swoosh-lovers out there!

Founded in 2009 the Finish company’s goal is to provide a unique experience and help athletes reach their true potential with true compression.

This scientifically proven ZeroPoint Intense Socks 2S are perfect for high-intensity sport and recovery. Tested and worn by Games athletes such an Jonne Koski, the Zeropoint products give you the strongest medical-grade graduated Compression. We all know how legs can feel heavy and swell up during and after exercise. This is the result of the excess load on venous valves that carry blood to the heart. When using compression products, the valves remain closed and allow better blood flow to the heart.

So take the opportunity and dress up for your winter training!

ZeroPoint offers also tights, shorts and calves for your training

PALEO JERKY

The FEAST to-go

This little Berlin Start-Up is on a mission to bring you a healthy and conscious meat snack that is perfect as an on the go meal or a valuable post workout protein source. With 15,2g protein per 25g pack, this Wild Jerky from Paleo Jerky will be welcomed (then wolfed down) by the Crossfitters who train hard whatever time of year it is. A decent gamy taste of this 100% wild shot deer gives you an inimitable taste adventure. It is also 100% Paleo: That means no sugar, no gluten, no lactose, no allergenic substances and no soy.

In short, it doesn’t get much healthier than this for a Christmas gift.

Before you’re training, you need to let your body warm up. And since it’s cold outside and winter is coming, it’s time to get cozy. Move through your early routines with fitted comfort from the cuffed hems and waistband draw cord.

Coming to you in Coal Grey or a Collegiate Navy the Reebok CrossFit Fleece Pants will become your best friend in and outside the box. The slit fit of the pants will make sure to move alongside your exercise or if nobody looks, just have a classic rest day on the couch.

The 3 part w.o.d. welder handcare kit prevents and repairs hand rips and callus tears caused by intensive workouts and repeated grinding on hands and palms.

Made of all natural ingredients Hands as Rx Cream contains lanolin, which holds moisture to the skin, food grade olive oil, and beeswax All three ingredients, plus aloe and shea butter, act in synergy as anti-inflammatories, providing cell regeneration, and speeding healing. Hands as Rx Cream is a daily-use, quickly absorbed skin cream that keeps athletes’ hands and palms supple and hydrated to help prevent skin injuries.

Hand rips and tears slow you down and hinder Crossfit progress. Be smart and maximise your results.

Stop hand rips and tears and be prepared for the next WOD with the w.o.d. welder kit
